CRITICAL TEXT Barbancho JOSE RAMON SANTOS ON THE WORK OF JAVIER: More and more frequent images and references to the city and its dynamics in contemporary art, whether for whatever reason, is an image corresponds to the concerns that they are in everyone's mind and, of course, the art as referring to life, the echo hacindose reflects feelings of the citizens. These references are found in all disciplines, but are especially recurrent in video and photography, presented as means idneos for this kind of story and of course in the creation that derives from the intervention of new digital technologies. Javier Santos has produced stories about the city, with its particular vision on "cumulative," which are nothing but accumulations analogous to those seen in the new districts of the cities, whether big or small stas . Previously, this kind of "resort" were references to housing and infra-dwellers aluvin now a mutation that has its explanation in the new era, are more synonymous with luxury good "quality" of life, isolated life. I come to mind their "frigorficos tuned" reflections that crowded life, but also of those new neighborhoods where everything is "perfect" and everything is equal.

These large works are resolved into striking images. Formally the work, as in previous works, also the frigorficos-, shares an affinity with pop aesthetics, not just aesthetic, but clearly intentional, using everyday objects, characteristic of mass culture , reconvirtindolos objects of worship to be turned into works of art or object of stas. As I say there is an affinity aesthetic in his use of color, bright color and at times raucous, a bold employee. Canned resources, in addition, using techniques that link very well with this image of modernity in the use of the resources of contemporary art. The digital image, the manipulation of photography and computer utilization of the spot talking about it. Visually you can share interests with current work of great painters such as Franz Ackerman, especially employment color, but meaning and intention are fully JAVIER
